<p>In answering your question of how many losing vice-presidential candidates lost an election then went on to become president, the same number as the number of winning vice-presidential candidates, depending on how you count: 2 to 4 each.</p>
<p>The problem with the number partly stems from the different methods we have used over the years for determining the vice-president.</p>

<p>Of Ryan, James says: "No woman in her right mind would vote for him." But if every woman NOT in her right mind voted for him, and most old white men, he'd be a shoo-in. Remember, there are women rabidly opposed to the Equal Rights Amendment.</p>

One person's heaven is another person's hell. So why was Jerry Falwell telling us all how to run our lives? When I studied religion I read a bit about the Yezidis of Iraq. The few of them remaining (those who survived Saddam's pogroms) still worship Satan as the "ruler of the world." It was interesting to see an antinomian gnostic sect in the Muslim world. In their belief that the planet is in the clutches of the Devil, the Yezidis were like the Ophites, whose consecration of sacramental bread began with having snakes crawl over the loaves prior to ritual consumption by congregants. The implication would have to be that both the Qu'ran and the Bible are the collected lies of the Devil.</p> Jerry fallwell?

<p>Besides, we get to meet Voltaire, Hemingway, Mark Twain, Einstein, among many, many others. All you get up there are the Jerry Falwells.</p>
